HELENA, Ala. (WIAT) – Pig the Dog, a nine-month-old mixed breed, was born with a spine deformity that shortened her body.

Pig’s owner, Kim Dillenbeck, fell in love with her the moment she saw her just after Christmas in 2013. Pig is in good health for now, and Dillenbeck has already started the process of making her a therapy dog.

“I want her to come in contact with as many people who can benefit from her strength and energy,” said Dillenback. “I’m gonna need help with that, and I’m going to get help with that. Where it goes from there, I don’t know.”

Pig has gone viral over the internet and even has her own Facebook page. Dillenbeck is looking at other ways to keep the public up-to-date on the happenings in Pig’s life.
